Problems solved by technology

When touching smooth and/or delicate surfaces, for executing a movement, for example, by bare human hands or by the hands of a robot, there is the risk of an inadvertent relative movement between the surface and the hand touching it.
This relative movement, for example, in the case of an article grasped by the hand can lead to its slipping out of the hand and the article being damaged in a subsequent and uncontrolled movement.
Especially for delicate surfaces, reliable handling cannot be achieved by simple measures such as, for example, increasing the force acting on the article touched by the hand, since

Embodiment Construction

[0032]The support device according to the invention for improving the haptics and / or a gripping impression in hands of the humanoid or android type has an active surface that interacts with parts of the respective hand for performing a movement. In the glove shown in FIG. 1 for a humanoid hand as hand protection 10, the pertinent active surface is formed on the regions 14 shown by crosshatching in FIG. 1. FIG. 1 here shows the inside of the hand of a glove for a right hand. The regions 14 that form the active surface are located on the sections of the hand protection 10 that cover the tips of the fingers 16, the thumbs 18, and the ball 22 of the thumb. The support device has individual stem-like projections 24 (see FIG. 3). The projections with their respective free end faces 26 at least partially improve the adhesion of at least parts of the hand protection 10 to surfaces when they are touched, especially surfaces that are smooth and / or delicate.

Abstract

A support device for improving the haptics and/or gripping impression of humanoid or android type hands includes an active surface that interacts with parts (16, 18, 22) of the respective hand to carry out a movement and that has individual stem-like projections. Each projection has a free end face such that the projections at least partially improve the adhesion of at least parts of the hand or a hand protector (10) to surfaces, particularly smooth or delicate surfaces, that are touched. The respective free end faces (26) of the projections (24) are designed such that their adhesion results from acting van der Waals forces between the free end faces (26) and the touched surface.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a support device for improving the haptics and / or gripping impression for hands when touching surfaces that are especially smooth and / or delicate.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]When touching smooth and / or delicate surfaces, for executing a movement, for example, by bare human hands or by the hands of a robot, there is the risk of an inadvertent relative movement between the surface and the hand touching it. This relative movement, for example, in the case of an article grasped by the hand can lead to its slipping out of the hand and the article being damaged in a subsequent and uncontrolled movement. Especially for delicate surfaces, reliable handling cannot be achieved by simple measures such as, for example, increasing the force acting on the article touched by the hand, since increased force can result in damage of a delicate surface.[0003]WO 2008 / 113816 A2 discloses a support device (glove) for improving the grasping impress...
